Quality of Life refers to the perceived well-being of individuals or communities, consisting of physical, psychological, social, environmental, and economic dimensions. It helps policymakers understand living conditions and identify areas requiring development. The study of Quality of Life is critical because it gives a comprehensive assessment of the impact of societal conditions, policies, and health interventions on human flourishing. In the clinical setting, it turns the focus away from simply prolonging life and toward enhancing patients' well-being.
